NYC II

As we strolled down Madison Avenue munching on macarons, I spied the Beretta store and asked JCW if he wanted to go in...call it a peace offering for waiting in line at Ladurée.

He headed straight for the gun rooms upstairs. They were more like gun galleries filled with the most beautiful guns I had ever seen in my life. Such works of art...as I snapped a photo someone said "gun porn" and they were right. This is were the idea of learning how to really shoot and having a girls gun club starting whirling around in my head.

We peaked into the customization shop and they showed me how they could fit a Beretta to be just my size. I told JCW I might be asking for a shotgun next year and he said the chances of him getting a new gun before I got one where a lot greater...way to burst my Beretta bubble!

The entire store was magnificent and filled to the brim with clothing and home accessories.

The decor was very eclectic and certainly not minimalist.

We walked passed the windows at Barneys and Bergdorfs and they were total mob scenes but fun nonetheless.

Love! So much eye candy at the Beretta store. Here's a solution. It looks like the gun JCW is holding is one of a matching pair so why don't y'all get those two and then get them fitted? ;-) Have a great weekend!P.S. I adore your cape.

I am sure JCW was thru the door before you got the "N" in "In" passed your lips...Nothing better than fondling soem fine double guns!I have a Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon 12 ga.(fitted) that is a a favorite...If you do go down this road, having a gun fitted is very much worth the effort and expense.

Thoughts

I simply adore the American flag and I am constantly inspired by my surroundings. I love wearing anything with ruffles. I have a special place in my heart for animals and the water. I cherish photography and sculpture. I believe in fate. Summer is my favorite time of year. I like smelling cinnamon buns. I can’t live without back-rubs, online shopping, heating blankets, pink nail polish, plaid and hydrangeas. I get excited before a storm. There should be more random acts of kindness. I love antiques and decorating. I mostly wear flats. Anything seersucker is adorable. I will never get sick of eating tomato mozzarella. The best thing about the beach is outdoor showers and eating candy. All pools should be heated. -EAS
